It's funny that they were willing to try the rosh after what happened to alliance in the same situation against an earthquake. That pretty much decided the game, which was a pretty anticlimactic way to finish a great series. I guess if they snuck the rosh they'd have a great chance of winning...

Yeah, when the BH dies a lot, but forces both supports to waste time running around the map, spending wards, dust, and mana to maaaaaybe get 1 kill, he ends up costing them way more than they gain by killing him 3-4 times. Even after the kills occur, the rest of C9 was farming in peace because...

What a beatdown. I was unsure about the clockwork / skywrath picks against the Navi lineup, but C9 executed it perfectly.

Na'Vi are luring C9 into these early-midgame hectic fights. Still favoring C9, but they put themselves in a hole by committing to that weird fight at the ramp near the rosh pit where they had nothing to gain.

I'll have to agree with all the other people here - last year was tense and fun to watch as teams progressed or were knocked out/down after the first stage. The progression here is so disjointed that I have a hard time caring. Every other playoff in every other sport has a series of rounds...

Terrible start for EG. Looking like lower bracket for them.

I'm leaving for a trip to Norway and Denmark on Tuesday, and I figure this is a good place for a phone-newb question. I have a Verizon LG G2 with the following specs: Network: CDMA, GSM, LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz), CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz) Frequencies: CDMA 1.9 GHz/800 MHz, GSM...

What's funny is that the assistant ref is in a perfect position, even with the last defender, and he's crouched down looking straight down the offsides line. And it was still called incorrectly.

I haven't been following the Amazon phone, but I saw the link 2 posts up. Is it true that you don't have home or menu buttons (hardware or onscreen), and have to tilt the device to perform those functions? I foresee that getting tiresome extremely fast. It reminds me of the first generation...

I went into the Verizon store to exchange my defective G2 for a new one today, and it was hilarious to me that the sales associates on the floor all had tablets with hand grips on the back that they carried around do do all their data entry. It took my guy about 10 minutes to type in my...

My Verizon LG G2 developed a dead region on the touchscreen last week, and the knock-on feature no longer works unless I do two very slow, very deliberate taps outside of the dead zone. The dead zone is a horizontal stripe across the top of the screen, right where the "install" button is when...

Am I the only one who didn't have a problem with the new Mountain? The only issue I had was that he is obviously younger than the Hound. I don't need him to be constantly scowling to know he's a bad dude.

I was really hoping for an 8 inch surface pro. I know it's not as practical for many users (which is probably why it got canned), but I was dreaming of an ultra portable full laptop replacement the size of a pad of paper. If would completely replace my lab notebook. I understand that the market...

I had a MX518 for a couple years and had no complaints about the mouse itself - it blew my old Razer out of the water. However, I always use a claw grip so I looked into gaming mice specifically designed for that grip. I ended up buying a CM Storm Xornet, and I've been using it exclusively for...

I thought you could only bandage to half?

Demon joins Liquid. I wonder how long that will last? I don't think this fixes much, and I wouldn't be surprised if the team disbands entirely soon.

Dr. Atala was a guest speaker at our university last year, and they've actually had success with penis repair, too. Hooray! Their technology is actually pretty basic compared to current research, but they've been doing this stuff for decades now so that's to be expected since they are just now...

Interesting situation in the final games for the Starladder qualifications for Kiev. Na'Vi rescheduled a bunch of games so they were supposed to play three qualifiers in a row today. Because it's the last couple days of qualifying, most teams know they can't qualify, and 2 of the 3 opponents...

Yeah, that was insane. Liquid had it in the bag until Tinker bought back with like 10s left, resetting his buyback timer, because he was afraid of losing the last lane of rax. If they had held on, he'd be able to insta buyback when they pushed at the end.

I've ignored all of those offers. They just seem silly to me, and most people I've talked to feel the same way. Putting it on your resume is no different than just listing your GPA since I believe that's the only thing they use as a requirement.

Claire is still unaware that Frank killed Russo, right? She was clearly upset about his suicide, kept bringing up his kids, and left Adam because of the news. I think in the next season she is going to find out the truth about Russo's death and will turn against Frank at some point. There is...

Navi just picked sniper. Normally I root for Alliance but I have to cheer for Navi this time purely based on their picks. Dendi sniper should be fun. Captain's draft is a great mode, and I'd like to watch more tournaments using it.

Can't believe Rox Kis lost the first game with their huge advantage. No way the same thing should happen game 2,but you never know.

Didn't see it on twitch, but there's a stream on dailymotion: joinDOTA - NaVi vs Team Liquid - DOTA 2 Champions League - Dailymotion-Video On a related note for game 2: how are pro teams still ignoring the uber regen of melee raxes? I see teams push, take the melee rax low, then retreat...

Crazy game going on right now - Liquid vs Na'Vi. Over 10k gold lead swing, 1hr+ game so far.

I traded in my note 3 for a g2, and I have no complaints. The note 3 was just too big for me, and I hated the hardware home button, otherwise it was nearly as impressive as the g2. The G2 has battery life similar to the note 3, which, as you have read above, is the best I've ever seen from a...

What a beatdown. Navi are the masters of coming out of the loser's bracket. Alliance better have some huge changes for the next games or this might be another one-sided finals they lose to Navi.

I was in the exact same boat. Battery life and poor camera were my biggest issues with the GNex. Note 3 had amazing battery life and camera, and so does the G2. I think right now the Moto X is about perfect, I just hate how my Nexus ended up laggy and slow all the time due to its hardware after...

If you're on Verizon, look into the LG G2. I'm returning my Note 3 (too big) for it. Same processor, better camera, amazing form factor for a 5.2" screen, and the screen is 1080p IPS instead of amoled. The clincher for me is that it has pretty much the best battery life of any phone except for...

I was watching alliance vs fnatic game 3 in bed on my tablet. Alliance went up 12-3 or something and had an 8k gold lead so I figured it was a foregone conclusion and went to sleep. Sounds like I missed a good comeback / big throw.

Mine hits my speed cap of 15 mbps, but now importantly it's dependable. My wireless connection was prone to frequent enough lag spikes that games like dota 2 were consistently ruined by 10 freezes or disconnects. My house is fairly new so old wiring want an issue, though. Definitely an item for...

I had been running my desktop on wireless until I got a couple powerline adapters for Christmas. It's made a huge difference in speed and stability. If anyone is currently using a wireless adapter for their desktop, look into powerline adapters. I had been on wireless because our office is...

That's what he wants to avoid. There are enough buttons to press in dota without needing to press two keys to select your hero or courier. Newer models might havea menu to disable it instead of having to go through bios though.

Enter bios during Windows boot up and there is an option to turn off the special function keys and restore their default function. That's how my old hp laptop worked.

Losses to Oakland, Washington, and Houston are coming back to bite them. Not to mention the Miami loss, which is probably going to cost them the playoffs.

Honestly, from your description, I would go with Dota 2. It's pretty much impossible to "miss the train" since the game is static and there's no gear accumulation or anything. Within one month of hard play (ie, multiple games daily) you will probably be at 50-75% of your "final" performance...

We use Netflix and Hulu plus, and the Chromecast replaced our Roku because it's so much easier to use.

I think I said it in this thread recently, but listening to Lysander getting worked up in heavily accented and semi broken English is always entertaining.

Same. I didn't see scheduled downtime so I tried deleting the Steam folder except for SteamApps and Steam.exe - no luck. Just an unscheduled downtime I guess?

Finally upgrading to SSDs for my laptop and new desktop I'm building. Anyone familiar with the Windows 8 licensing rules? I got the $15 version when it was first released and it's currently on my laptop HDD. Should I just use Samsung's migration tool to clone it over, or is it still "better"...
